If you are like me you ditched your HD-DVD player and sold your movies on eBay back in February. But maybe you are starting to regret it just a little. Well sellout.woot.com has a HD-DVD player with 2 movies for $50 if you feel like ditching the Blu and getting back with the red.
Not that [...]
Dave Zatz from zatznotfunny.com has a post about a Sony S300 player that is on sale for $200 at Amazon. I think it’s today only, so if you want it you better move. It’s not a bad price if you need some more QC players.
I updated the Blu-ray HDMV Flash Viewer to version .15. Mostly I added some options in the control panel thing to make it easier to send menus to clients. Here’s the changelog from the help file(which needs some updating in sections):
Version .15 – Added options into the control panel so you don’t have to mess [...]

Sonic Dramatically Streamlines BD-J [...]
I added 3 new current titles. They are Live from Abbey Road (which is a great product, probably my favorite Blu-ray disc we’ve done), Paris Je T’Aime, and Kitaro.
Back at NAB I talked about 2 new products coming from Sonic. A BD-J Flash Converter and an authoring tool called BD Fusion. Well Sonic released a press release on Friday describing the products. I’m not sure what’s different with the new versions from what was demoed to me at NAB, so if anyone is at [...]
One last post for today (maybe, I’m thinking about making a post about something called LACP I just learned about a few days ago). To streamline our quality control operations we decided to find a way to send the compressed H.264 file from our compressor to a PS3 so someone can watch it before the [...]

I didn’t catch this until just now, but on August 18th Sonic released beta 2 of their QC tool. I haven’t downloaded it or used Beta 1 very much so I’m not sure what’s new.
Just thought I’d throw it out there in case others missed it as well.
